The Compass Courses Scholarship Program is designed to provide professional mariners an opportunity to earn a scholarship to the Compass Courses training program of their choice. It is designed to offer financial aid for professional mariners who are looking for a way to continue working, increase their personal skills and licenses, or continue their work in the industry. This program is designed to be a gap filler between those programs that are tailored to youth and their entry to the industry and the professional development scholarships for those in the transportation fields that are targeted at more of a management level employee. The award will be offered once each quarter.
What will be awarded?
Recipients will be awarded the cost of the course. The recipient may choose any course that Compass Courses offers. However, they must declare the course they are applying for when they make application. It is foreseeable that the award could include products and services from other industry entities such as clothing manufactures, safety product manufactures, and others.
Who is eligible?
Anyone! Have you always wanted to work on ships? Are you a seasoned mariner moving up through the hawsepipe or looking to maintain your credentials? This scholarship is for you.
